Everything from A to Z.
Consider fortrabbit an alternative to AWS, especially when you are not a large corporate.
# About AWS
Amazon Web Services is the largest Infrastructure as a Service cloud provider. fortrabbit runs on AWS too. Why not host your websites directly on AWS?
AWS provides 100+ services with gazillions of options. You have to invest time to understand and master it. Then you'll need a spreadsheet to calculate your costs. Some parts are managed, but eventually it's your responsibility to maintain and secure it.
It's not economical! Purchasing AWS resources directly is cheaper than using fortrabbit. Or is it?
# Why fortrabbit
Lower cost of ownership: With fortrabbit you book a ready made infra that runs on shared resources, making use of multiple AWS services at once. The costs of running one application on AWS services are high. Our lower plans run on shared resources, like with shared hosting but better isolated.
We free lots of your time so you can concentrate on development. We preemptive cure the headaches you would have setting up and maintaining a sophisticated hosting setup, by providing a Platform as a Service.
